We assist you in preparing for a due diligence review to be performed by the potential buyer which may include identifying the required financial information, analysis and reports.

We perform procedures to the possible tax liabilities, tax assets, or tax incentives of the target company. We help ensure that the valuation of the investment includes an adequate reserve for future tax assessments. Companies looking for potential investors or selling their businesses also benefit from a Tax Due Diligence Review by becoming aware of their tax risks and thus be able to plan accordingly.
